Everything New in iOS 16 Beta 4 For Lock Screen, iMessage, CarPlay, and More

Idk what I’m missing but I don’t see the “revamped” Lock Screen edit interface. Still the old one. Confirmed it is latest beta.

I can't even install the beta. I select the IPSW in iTunes but then I get a message saying that I need to update iTunes to the latest version in order to install iOS 16 on my iPhone.



I Googled for solutions on what I can do about this message, but I only get a bunch of Apple support pages telling me I can no longer use Windows 7 or 8 since they are outdated... this is absolutely useless, since I am using Windows 11. What gives?

IPSW install for iOS beta has been traditionally macOS only. Even when windows 7 was supported, installing beta ipsw was not. OTA or use a Mac with beta macOS and beta Xcode to install.

Third party software might work better under windows, but I never tried those before.

I was on the iOS 15 beta at one point as well as others, so it must have been possible to install through iTunes as, knowing me, that’s the only way I ever would’ve done it… anyway, I got talked into installing PB2 OTA. One of the buggiest beta releases I’ve tried yet! I would still suggest staying away from this one on a daily driver device. I guess I’m stuck now so I’ll manage for the time being, but stability is not the name of the game here. I am hoping that the OTA update is only coincidental and not to blame for some of these issues.
